lyrics

Ye fleeting charms of earth, farewell
Your springs of joy are dry
My soul now seeks another home
a brighter world on high

I’m a long time travelling here below
I’m a long time travelling away from home
I’m a long time travelling here below
To lay this body down

Farewell kind friends whose tender care
has long engaged my love
Your fond embrace I now exchange
for better friends above

I’m a long time travelling here below
I’m a long time travelling away from home
I’m a long time travelling here below
To lay this body down
